AGENDA:
Self-Authored Integrated Learning Initiative
The purpose of SAIL is to create a shared language and approach across Northeastern to foster those life skills and competencies that cross disciplinary boundaries and all experiences in and out of the classroom to help our graduates succeed in any career within our ever-changing, global society.
SAIL provides the foundation for an INTEGRATED LEARNING ECOSYSTEM in which learners can practice:
ARTICULATE & AUTHOR
[Baxter-Magolda & King, 2003]
INTEGRATE Your learning
INTEGRATING
across experiences
[Perfect et al., 2004; Engle et al., 2012]
CONNECTING
skills/literacies to experiences
[Winkelmes, 2014]
So what are these competencies and skills?

SAIL Framework: Dimensions
Aesthetic appreciation Computational thinking Entrepreneurship Information literacy
INTELLECTUAL AGILITY
Learners develop the ability to use knowledge, behaviors, skills, and experiences flexibly in new and unique situations to innovatively contribute to their field.
GLOBAL MINDSET
Learners develop knowledge, skills and behaviors to live, work and communicate with people whose background, experience and perspectives are different from their own as well as to consider the global impact of their decisions. SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS & COMMITMENT Learners develop the confidence, skills and values to effectively recognize the needs of individuals, communities, and societies and make a commitment to constructively engage in social action.
Inclusivity/inclusive action Networking Systems thinking
PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS Learners develop the confidence, skills, behaviors and values to effectively discern life goals, form relationships and shape their personal and professional identities to achieve fulfillment.
Conflict resolution Financial literacy Networking Strategic thinking Time management
WELL-BEING Learners develop knowledge, skills and behaviors necessary to live balanced and fulfilling lives.

PROS CHALLENGES Helps with co-op & career pathways – help preparing for jobs and interviews Translating SAIL to non-NU audiences Take it with me after graduation Upper class students see value faster Ability to share with advisors and employers Don’t make it required – should be Opt-In Network Understanding the “why” of SAIL – delayed benefits Goal Creation Hard finding time to use the app Skills DNA Would like to have more opportunities in the system
Example Impacts:
Faculty Feedback
Focus Groups, Ambassadors, Workshops
PROS CHALLENGES Good to see the whole student Entering courses Way to expand my course to fit students’ prior experiences Integrating SAIL into opportunities offered Appreciate applicability “Teaching” SAIL Feedback from learners on skills they got
Breaking courses down into modules Ability to advertise courses and other events Ability to pull into assessment planning Student pathways
Example Impacts:
Beta Test and Forward
Open to all with a Northeastern login Need Faculty involvement to ensure success for our students and our educators.
